Transition Coaching

Not sure what career is best for you? Are you at a career crossroads and not sure what's next? Perhaps you know your ideal occupation but need help with your job search? 

Exploring Your Need and Interests

Career changes come in many forms. We begin with exercises and questions designed to get to know you, your needs, interests, preferences and values, through and in-depth personal consultation. This is the first step in laying the foundation for clarity on your ideal future career.   

Identifying Possible Options

We use a variety of assessment tools to help identify occupations that could be a great match for you. Not all assessments are created equal, and some online assessments lack robustness and can even be misleading. We recommend a variety of reliable career assessments and, after interpreting the findings, we jointly create a targeted list of your most promising career options. 

Evaluating Possible Options

To promote a strong understanding of a potential new occupation, we discuss the market, potential employers, and factors such as entry requirements to the field. We consider technological factors such as the impact of AI upon entry to specific fields. We also explore how the choice of factors such as industry sector, organization type, employer size and emerging trends could impact other aspects of your life such as remuneration and work-life balance. With an understanding of both the big picture plus the details, you are better able to make an informed decision of which occupation/roles to pursue, increasing your preparedness and confidence as you move forward.

Action Plan and Job Search Coaching 

Clients proceed forward in different ways, and at varying paces depending upon their unique needs and situation. We work with you to develop a plan of action. Then we provide expert support in the job search process, which can range from assistance in developing your job search materials (i.e. resume, cover letter, optimization of LinkedIn profile), to support with the application process, networking, interview preparation including mock interviews, handling references, and negotiating a favorable job offer.
